And, to quote the late Paul Harvey, “the rest of the story”.  It seems that the Obama family’s totally uncharacteristic voyage to the local church was impelled by a personal interest:  there was a muslim activist speaking on “Prospects of the two-state solution in the Middle-East”.  Not something you’re going to hear in the MSM,… Continue reading

From the Chronicle of Higher Education, an article by Kelly Field about Biden oohing and aahing to a bunch of college presidents about how critical academic research is to the stimulus effort.  BTW, there was $18 BILLION in the stimulus bill earmarked for academic research. The paragraph that kind of stuck out to me:  Mr.… Continue reading

Himself and I were gifted by the Mighty and Indomitable Og with a chance to go to the International Manufacturing Technology Show on Saturday.  There were robots that sorted things, there were robots that made robots, there were lasers, cutters, printers, wires, tracks, hydraulics, measuring devices, and there was one BIG robot that could lift… Continue reading

So I wander through Breitbart’s sites pretty much daily and there were two articles side-by-side and the content I found to be kind of interesting.  The first one, about Obama leaving “By Their Creator” out of his recitation of the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, came just before an article about the Obama’s actually… Continue reading

Brian Wood, a game developer, met that measure, in spades.  When he knew that an impact (from what turned out was a drunk driver) was imminent, he turned his vehicle deliberately so that he would take the impact, thus sparing the lives of his wife and unborn child.  Interestingly enough, his latest project was Company… Continue reading

Talk about grassroots movements!  Yesterday when I logged on to donate to her campaign for our household, her goal was $50,000.  This morning she is 90% to a cool million bucks.  And I’m betting it was all small donations:  we gave $40, Dick and Kelly gave $100.  I heard on the radio this morning that… Continue reading

I saw in this article that the Obama Administration is planning on “getting tough” with China.  Because “getting tough” has worked so well for Captain Barak Bows-a-Lot and his band of merry mischief makers.  Do they really think that ANY country, especially China, will take them seriously??  (picture via The Breda Fallacy) Continue reading

Irrelevant or some variation, that’s what I’m hearing on the radio and that’s what I’m reading on blogs when there is a discussion of the RNC’s reaction to O’Donnell’s victory in the Delaware primary yesterday.  The RINO Republican National Party is making itself irrelevant.  They are no longer the gatekeepers or the power brokers where… Continue reading

Via Kyle Olson at Big Government….. Indianapolis schools got busted by a watchdog group for spending $25,000 in cell phone bills–in one month (please to note that the month in question is December, which includes the Christmas break.  The kicker of this situation is that instead of just sucking it up, admitting there’s a problem,… Continue reading

Via Libertyzone (who everyone should read all the time–the snark is great with that one).  So the daughter of Fred Phelps, that asshat from Kansas who loads his flocks into buses and drives around the country being attention whores by protesting at the funerals of servicemen, Amish girls, etc. is angry at the OTHER asshat… Continue reading
